Rover improvement mods

[Souptime]

I always like rovers, they're basically useless cause you can send a hopper. So i want it to change, is there any mods that add in stockalike rover parts based off of real rovers and rover based contracts. Basically making rovers useful again, maybe even skycrane parts too

Oh wait whoops, wrong place. @Gargamel can you move this to add on discussion

Got it.

Have you tried Bon Voyage? Rover autopilot, comes as a separate part but also integrated with the RoveMate probe core (and some mod rovers like Buffalo), it’s easy to use and can drive to waypoints (for contracts), targets (to meet up with other missions) or to any point on the map you like. It also has a boat mode.
The only downside is that it will drive exactly to where you tell it- half way up a cliff, inside another vessel, sometimes even under the ground if you don’t have terrain set to the highest detail- so it’s always a good idea to lop a few digits off the end of the target co-ordinates to prevent any unwanted explosions when your rover ends up inserted into your crew lander or base.

For rover parts, there are a few out there- Buffalo and FUR are two that I can remember and I’m sure Angel125 has a few more rover-related mods. There’s also the Bumblebee quadcopter drone if you want to take to the air without the hassle of building with breaking ground motors and rotors.
